[New user found]
[System calibration and bonding starts in 3...2...1]
"What!?" I look around in surprise and shock trying to find the source of the mechanical voice I'm hearing as it counts down, but before I can register where it's coming from or what it is I suddenly feel an electrifying pain in my head and body making me fall on top of my wife's corpse.
It was like being stabbed and electrocuted all at the same time, the feeling went from my brain and down while also going from my feet and up like I was being scanned using pain.
[Calibration and bonding complete!]
[Welcome user to the Necromancer System]
I wasn't quite able to hear the voice anymore because I was still trying to figure out what the hell just happened to me, even though the pain had subsided the amount of shock I had felt from the sudden electrocution was still present, but despite that I regained my senses after just a few minutes and called out to the voice, "Hello?" I say while looking around for something.
[Hello user, and welcome to the Necromancer System]
If I didn't know any better I'd say the voice sounded mechanical and irritated at the same time, maybe from having to repeat itself to me, I didn't worry about that though and spoke to it instead, "Necromancer System? As in raising the dead?"
[Well that's what necromancy means isn't it]
"...are you supposed to be this rude?" I look to the ground in confusion from the rudeness of this thing.
[Are you supposed to be this dumb?]
"...whatever, tell me system can I use you to maybe...bring my wife back?" I say while looking down at the corpse of my wife that I've been holding in my arms this entire time.
[Of course user, but fair warning she won't be what you're thinking]
"It doesn't matter, I'll find a way to make her whole again even if it means I have to lose another part of myself"
[Well good for you, please before you start monologuing like you're the main character say Status]
"..Status" Suddenly a black screen with white words appears in front of me making me jump back a little.

"That's...I'll find out what those mean later, right now just tell me how I bring back Michelle" I had already put Michelle down and stood up ready to do whatever I had to in order to bring her back.
[Extra much, first you need to state your revival word while touching her forehead with your hand, each time you make a corpse into your minion you must have physical contact and enough Mana or it won't work]
"Alright, uh" I put my hand on her cold forehead and think for a bit about what I wanted the revival word to be.
[You have about 30 seconds before you can't revive her anymore]
"WHAT!? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT BEFORE!?"
[Because before you didn't have 30 seconds]
"You are the rudest robot I've ever met in my life"
[To bad]
I ignored the system that most likely had daddy issues or something and focused on my dead wife, after a little thinking I finally came up with the word, "Ri-"
[Well to late you took to long]
"FUCK!"
[Dude calm down I'm joking]
I smacked my forehead in frustration and went back to trying to revive my wife, "Rise." her body began to shift making all kinds of strange sounds before she slowly sat up and looked at me with her hollow dead eyes.
"Michelle?" she, or should I say it, didn't respond and instead kept staring as if waiting for something.
[It's waiting for a command, like I said before user that isn't your wife anymore]
"...stand up" the walking corpse that is my wife stopped looking at me and stood up like a well oiled machine with no emotion or feeling whatsoever.
[You'll be able to give it simple commands like attack, jump, defend, anything complex like make me breakfast isn't gonna work]
"Noted" As I look at my wife who used to be a living being full of emotion and warmth, I think to myself {I have to avenge her, I remember what happened somehow but if what I saw in my memories is true then I'm WAY to weak to do anything about this}
[Then go and get stronger it's not that difficult]
"How am I supposed to get stronger when all I can do is bring back the dead, the only thing I can do is exercise."
[Or you could go through the system functions and see that I help you get stronger]
"I'm stupid" Michelle nodded as if confirming what I just said.
[Agreed]
"System show me your functions"
[Skills]
[Shop]
[Evolution]
[???]
I thought about what the skills tab was and it opened automatically, it's good that I don't have to speak aloud to work the system.
[Unique skills: Resurrection, Death Glare, Dark Magic, Syphon, Chilling Bolt]
[Syphoned Skills: N/A]
[Global skills: N/A]
{I guess I should go through all of this before I go and get myself folded like an omelette trying to fight people that can fly} Thinking this I scanned through my five skills, Resurrection is self explanatory, it lets me bring back those that have died but must be within 5 minutes of death and if the dead has a stronger soul than mine then I only get 3 chances to make them into a minion.
Death Glare puts the fear of GOD in people once activated, it only works on one person per activation and has a cooldown of 3 minutes.
Dark Magic is...hard to explain, it has rituals and curses along with hexes and some other things, but for now all I can do is Chilling Bolt which is like a small piercing arrow that chills the soul
Last but not least Syphon let's me gain two skills from my undead, I have to upgrade the skill to get more which l tell pme how to do.
{System how do I upgrade skills?}
[That information is locked until level 5]
{Oh, well can you show me the shop?}
[The shop is locked until level 10]
{....evolution?}
[Evolution is locked until level 25]
{Well I won't even ask about the question marks then, I'll just get to leveling, how do I level exactly?}
[Kill your enemies and take their souls, note if you do take their soul you cannot resurrect them]
{Seems fair enough, I'll get to wo- SHIT} A loud boom could be heard and I was suddenly blown away into the air along with Michelle, I grabbed her while we tumbled along the ground before coming to a stop only because we hit a tree nearby.
[Well here's your first opportunity to level up and get revenge for your wife]
{I don't even think I can scratch them let alone kill them, I'm going home, I just got my life back no way I'm throwing it away that quickly}
"Michelle let's go" We both get up and begin sprinting in the direction of my home somehow slower than before, maybe it's due to my new undead race, Michelle was right behind me as the godlike people in the background continued fighting.
